Mambourg product Descotte fuels Fortuna Sittard with double

Sporting Charleroi have sent 23‑year‑old Anthony Descotte on loan to Fortuna Sittard, where the Belgian forward netted a brace on Sunday, taking his Eredivisie tally to five goals in nine matches.

Why the Dutch spell works for Charleroi

Descotte is the third Charleroi attacker to be loaned to the Netherlands, following spells at FC Utrecht in 2024‑25 and FC Volendam last season. At Utrecht he featured in nine first‑team games and four U23 fixtures, failing to establish himself.

His time at Volendam was hampered by a hamstring injury, yet he still managed four goals in fourteen league appearances, showing resilience despite limited minutes.

Fortuna Sittard have given him a platform to thrive, and his recent two‑goal haul at the NEC Nijmegen stadium marks the best start of his career to date.

In Belgium, Descotte has earned twenty‑three caps for the senior side but has yet to become a regular starter, prompting Charleroi to seek further development abroad.

Versatile across the front line – capable on the wing, as a centre‑forward or in a supporting role – he could return to Charleroi next summer with an enhanced reputation and a stronger claim for regular first‑team action.
